= amount of water flowing down a river at any one time measured in cubic metres of water per second (cumecs) changes over time, depending on amount of precipitation, evapotranspiration and nature of drainage basin itself Factors affecting river discharge ...
river channel is the trend in which the river flows. it’s defined by the river bed and banks. water flows downhill through the river channel; the water has mass and velocity, so it has energy to be able to change the shape and nature of the channel. considerable...
